# Romantic Fast Food Dinners This Chain is Offering Date-Night Table Service for Valentine's Day By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2016-02-11 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/datenight-table-service References: [eater](http://www.eater.com/2016/2/11/10965656/kfc-valentines-day-table-service) & [metro](http://metro.co.uk/2016/02/11/kfc-is-trialling-romantic-date-night-table-service-for-valentines-day-5673287/) According to recent reports, a KFC restaurant in the UK is offering date-night table service this Valentine's Day. As many people know, getting reservations at a high-end restaurant is a near impossible task on Valentine's Day. For those who are looking for something more low-key, this fast food promotion could be the perfect option. Instead of simply offering discount coupons or heart-shaped foods, KFC is celebrating Valentine's Day in a much bigger way. The romantic KFC set-up will include flowers, linen napkins and even a silver candelabra. Diners will be treated to table service and the assistance of a soft drink sommelier who will help them choose the perfect soda for their chosen meal. While it may seem unusual, the concept of date-night table service is one that several fast food restaurants have experimented with, including [Waffle House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comparts-x-waffle-house), [White Castle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-castle-love-kit) and [McDonald's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcnugget-caviar-kit). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Interactive](https://www.trendhunter.com/interactive) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fast Food Date Nights:** Fast food chains are offering romantic table service experiences for Valentine's Day, disrupting traditional high-end restaurant reservations. - **Romantic Dining Innovations:** Fast food chains are innovating the romantic dining experience by offering flowers, linen napkins and even soft drink sommeliers, creating a new type of low-key date night. - **Alternative Valentine's Day Celebrations:** Fast food chains are providing an option for those looking for an alternative Valentine's Day celebration, disrupting conventional romantic experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fast Food:** Fast food restaurants are innovating the traditional dining experience and offering alternative Valentine's Day celebrations. - **Hospitality:** Hospitality industries could benefit from offering alternative Valentine's Day celebrations to help meet the demand for romantic dining experiences. - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry could benefit from innovating low-key romantic dining experiences by offering flower arrangements, napkins, and soda sommeliers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Valentine’s Day Dinner Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-shack.md) - [Romantic Deli Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcalisters-deli-restaurant.md) - [Valentine's Burger Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-castle-love-kit.md) - [Anti-Relationship Valentine's Chicken Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boneless-valentines-day.md) - [High-Low Celebration Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fried-chicken-and-caviar.md) - [Low-Cost Valentine's Meal Deals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/25-valentines-dine-meal-deal.md) - [QSR-Branded Love Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-kit.md) - [Fast-Casual Valentine's Deals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qdoba-valentines-day-deal.md) - [Shareable Valentine's Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-meal-for-two.md)
